Description

A rare piece of Texas history, Smith Ranch offers the historic 1933 Blake Smith Lodge on approximately 10 acres near Mexia, with the opportunity for the purchaser to acquire up to approximately 190 additional contiguous acres. Designed by Houston architects H.E. Weaver & Lou Ault, the lodge has remained in the Smith family for generations, with surviving original architectural plans and specifications documenting its remarkable craftsmanship. The approximately 4,276 SF, two story lodge offers 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths. Original yellow pine log walls, massive Louisiana cypress timbers, native stonework, soaring ceilings and a monumental stone fireplace define the dramatic Great Room. A renovated kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, large island, pantry and wood burning stove, with a den and informal dining area just beyond. Offered fully furnished, the lodge has a new roof and full exterior painting. Detached guest quarters connected by an enclosed breezeway include an upstairs bedroom and bath plus a downstairs office and game room, mini kitchen and full bath. The additional acreage includes open pasture, 3 stock tanks, cattle grazing and AG exemption, with frontage on both Hwy 84 and the county road. Community water and private well. With its historic lodge, guest quarters, acreage and setting, Smith Ranch offers potential as a private estate, family retreat, venue or hospitality concept, subject to approvals and buyer due diligence. Base offering is lodge + approx. 10 acres. Additional acreage available only to the lodge purchaser, up to approx. 200 acres total.
